So essentially i'm driving down a road i travel daily, 30mph high street. This fella in an Astra has double parked his car and is basically blocking my path and anyone else behind me, hes of the sub saharan persuasion (i only mention that because around here they think they own the place and are all G's), talking to some other mate on the pavement. I blip my horn a few times indicating that hes blocking all of us and i can't proceed because traffic is heavy on the other side of the road.
He gives me a look and sort of swells out his chest much like a blowfish, then flips me off. He then tells his mate something, probably saying goodbye, jumps in his car, attempts to do a quick 180 and slams into the side of a car coming from the other direction. I laugh so hard i stall my car.. then drive past and shout a few choice words my mum would not approve of.
Am i a witness leaving the scene or since i was honking am i involved in any way? Not sure on these things anymore :o
 
Lol if you aint standing and banging you ain't there, I have just watched the Strike force HW GP so I am not responsible for any advice dispensed other than stand and bang, in which case you name better be Overeem.
 
Hi, you seem to me more worried about yourself than any other person...

Well yes.. i've stopped caring about my fellow man around the same time i realised in this world its dog eat dog and everyones gotta fend for themselves. I didn't used to be like that but lifes funny that way.
 
phone the police, tell them you witnessed an accident and am able to provide an independant account if required.

That's it. If they get in touch, great, if not, then you have done **** all, but getto feel good about yourself (karma etc)

PS Pretty negative attitude you have there. If we all thought like you did, then the world would be a pretty dire place.
 
Can the OP report the accident to the police as a witness? Assuming that it was reported by the two involved.

if its been reported to the police, yes the op can come forward as a witness

ninja edit: i would have stopped and said something straight away, what would you have wanted if it was your car that got hit?

Hi, I feel sorry for you...

I don't see why you're laughing, he's educating you, for free. Surely you should be thanking him for helping you improve yourself?

OP - Definitely look into reporting the accident, even if you don't do it to help the other guy, do it to make sure the guy blocking your way doesn't get away with it ;).
